Defoamer XS-02, chemically identified under CAS 9005-67-8 as Polysorbate 60 (Polyoxyethylene Sorbitan Monostearate), is a nonionic surfactant and process aid. While broadly known as an emulsifier, in the context of the XS-02 grade, it functions as a critical surface-active agent in industrial process control and fermentation formulations. It is designed to modify surface tension and acts as a dispersant for antifoaming actives in aqueous systems, or as a foam regulator in specific textile and biological processes. We ensure bulk supply with competitive factory pricing for industrial clients. Our inventory is managed to support customized specifications, and every shipment is accompanied by complete MSDS, TDS, COA documentation.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
What is the chemical basis of Defoamer XS-02 (CAS 9005-67-8)?
A: It is based on Polysorbate 60, which is created by the ethoxylation of sorbitan monostearate. While chemically hydrophilic, in the XS-02 designation, it is utilized for its ability to disperse other hydrophobic components or regulate foam stability in complex industrial broths. -
Q:
Is this product effective in high-temperature environments?
A: Yes, CAS 9005-67-8 generally exhibits good thermal stability. It is often used in fiber processing and fermentation tanks where temperature control is necessary, serving to maintain the homogeneity of the process fluid.
